Massacre of the Innocent

Last night Claire brought me her baby to show me what she had done. It wasn’t SO bad..there were just a few black marks around the baby’s lips. I kind of giggled, then told Claire, “You shouldn’t have done that! Poor baby!” But really, who cares!

Then I found the baby laying on the floor….and she had been annihilated. Claire even wrote on her feet!! Poor baby doll. Good thing she was only $4 at Walmart.

And Claire didn’t even get in trouble. I’m such a bad mom, to let my daughter abuse her children like this! Now everytime Claire looks at her baby she goes, “Oh….poor baby….” and picks her up and hugs her. Well, at least she’s a compassionate mommy.

Grafted – TOO FUNNY!! I know…that’s why I couldn’t discipline her. She insists on carrying that doll everywhere. Tonight she showed it to her new friend she made at the bicycle race, a fellow 2yr old sitting on the sidelines. The other little girl looked at Claire’s doll and started screaming. I was in tears – it was so funny! Poor little girl. Claire had no idea why she was scared though – kinda freaked Claire out. Two year olds are hilarious!!!Beth – that’s just MEAN! You should write all over your brother’s babies next time you see your nieces and nephews. hee hee….

Oh dear! Sharing a tip from my own experiences: Rubbing alcohol should remove some of the marker, but on a porous surface (such as doll skin) it cannot remove it all — but it should at least lighten the marks somewhat. Rejoicing with you that it was an inexpensive doll — my neighbor once discovered that her son had used a Sharpie to christen another neighbor’s brand new deck by writing his name all over it! She spent hours scrubbing the wood with bleach.
